Kelly, You should contact Kevin Brown of my staff. He has been working with a relatively new chemical - Borothene - and has found it very effective in removing paints and stencils. Additional tests with other materials including polyurethane foam has also been performed. Feel free to contact him at (806) 477-5942. Or send an e-mail to kbrown@pantex.com. Thanks and good luck!

I need help in identifying an environmentally-friendly alternative chemical stripper to methylene chloride being used as a dip-tank (i.e., immersion-style) paint stripper in an industrial operation. The alternative chemical stripper needs to be able to strip epoxy primer and polyurethane paint off of steel and aluminum parts. Non-chemical alternatives such as physical paint removers (such as bead blasting) are unfortunately not an option given the facility. Only alternative chemical, immersion-style strippers will work. Ideally, I would like to find a chemical stripper that does not require heating its dip tank. Any ideas? Thanks, Kelly Mularie kmularie@lan828.ehsg.saic.com (703) 318-4643
